Remove Fish To Another Tank. Cycle

[Alonyamin]

Hi,
I discord that I've had leak in my aquarium and now I'm getting a new aquarium.
Do I have to cycle the new tank or can I move the previous aquarium water with the filter and everything to the new one?
Is that something I can do?

It's the stuff inside your filter (the 'media') that is cycled, not the tank or the water, so if you move all that you won't need to cycle again

I agree with that. It's the bacteria in the filter that are the most important. Whilst some bacteria do exist in the substrate etc, they mainly multiply in the flter
